Jon Snow POV

Somewhere beyond the Wall, 290 AC, 2 moons later.

-----------------------------------------

Two months after the encounter in King's Landing, Jon had been east for six weeks searching for the great weirwood he was assigned to find. During this time, his tribe, which only stopped to rest for a few days, went up a mountain where they encountered 300 giants and 50 mammoths. After an intense confrontation and much discussion, they managed to convince them to join the Artican tribe. Jon had already done this with the first tribe of giants and now repeated the feat with these giants. Demonstrating his potential, he was accepted as leader due to his strength and powers at a young age. Jon envisioned making them a tribe with an unlimited future. He united 12 more tribes that witnessed the power of the Artican tribe. No one wanted to oppose and everyone wished to join this promising king who was passing through the lands to the North. Now, he counted more than 400 giants in his tribe and thousands of people.

There was much opposition from the new tribe members, especially when Jon began to punish them for their crimes that violated laws he himself established. He declared loudly and clearly to all: "If you want to live like barbarians, you are invited to leave the tribe before you lose your head after committing a crime under our tribe." Then, a series of fights began. Along with Ducken, Jon himself fought sometimes only to win over those he believed could help the tribe, but he killed those who would be a problem later. The boy, fighting against giants and adult men, then had no great trouble making combat with some wild men. Seeing a 9-year-old child defeating various adults, they later accepted him as their leader, since besides strength, Jon could create trees and food from the frozen ground, making most accept that the boy was blessed by the gods.

Some people refused to join the Artican tribe when they realized they could not maintain their barbaric customs. Rumors of a child leading a great tribe and becoming a king spread throughout the region. Many smaller tribes sought to join the Artican. However, many were angry at the idea of a southern child commanding the free people and began to unite in opposition each week across the region.

A few weeks later, Jon was now contemplating the horizon where a crowd tried to block his passage. A large group, resulting from the union of several tribes under a larger one, had more than 5,000 people and 3,000 warriors willing to face the Artican tribe to stop the madness of the southern child.

The Artican tribe, in turn, had grown considerably in number and strength. Wherever they went, more tribes wanted to join them. Now, they counted 4,000 people and 2,500 warriors.

'It's a large number that wants to stop us...' The boy reflected with the vision of the opposition in front of him.

Snapping out of his thoughts, Jon smiled in front of his enemies. With each passing day, his blood boiled more, ready to eliminate any threat to his people. 'They may have 500 more men,' he thought, 'but they made a fatal mistake: now we have 400 giants.'

In the last moons that followed to the north, Jon and his tribe stopped for a few days to feed the people and make weapons. In collaboration with William and the giants themselves, they produced 200 bows capable of hitting targets 300~400 meters away — a significant advantage in open field. Jon also produced 20 pots of 5 kilos of wildfire. Although resources were scarce here, limiting production, these weapons would be crucial to demonstrating his power and avoiding future wars after what will happen today. He improved the wildfire from King's Landing, creating a version that explodes like a grenade before igniting everything around, he called it WF1.
